Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites go through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
